I used to frequent this site years ago, but have let my interest in C&R collecting slip as I've taken on other interests (Competition Shooting). I'm going to be thinning my (C&R) herd to help finance a new rifle. Alas, I let my License lapse several years ago, so if I were to list some of my C&R items here on the WTS section, or on an auction site, how would I go about LEGALLY finalizing the sale/shipping now that I no longer have a License? Can I ship straight to a C&R holder? To a 01 FFL? Would it have to be FFL (Here) to FFL (There)? All items would be C&R. Also, how would I close out my Bound Book for those items I sold? Thanx. Cheers, Mark

Check your own state's reg's as some states have tighter regs than the feds. Before you ship, you will need to receive a signed copy of the FFL of the dealer or collector that you are shipping to, so that you can verify that you are actually shipping TO a licensed FFL. Be aware that some FFL's will refuse to send a copy of their FFL to anyone other than another FFL, because they just don't fully understand the reg's. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- What part of "shall not be infringed" don't you understand?

That requirement ended as soon as you became unlicensed. Also, since you are unlicensed, there is no requirement that you get a copy of the FFL's license before you ship. It's a good idea to ask for a copy, but it is not required. Many Type 01 FFL's don't like to give out copies of their license unless they have to, but most Type 03 FFL's will have no problem sending you a copy. You will need to at least get the FFL's license number so you can verify that it is a valid FFL and that the shipping address matches the license. For Type 01 FFL's you can verify the license number at BATFE's EZ-Check web site. For Type 03 FFL's you will need to call the Federal Firearms Licensing Center and verify the license over the phone. It's very easy to make a bogus license on a computer with Photoshop.
